    Ok, so maybe I'm just being crazy but as my dad always said it never hurts to ask. I received a 25th anniversary set in the mail the other day. When viewing the coins I tried to take one out of its hole to view the reverse. When putting my nail along the edge to lift up out of the hole I noticed the top of the plastic holder actually separating from its other half on the bottom. I immediately let go and fixed it. Now my question is, should I be concerned about possibly Accidently touching the coin in during all this or about exposure to gas during that brief 2 sec period? (I found later you could just flip the whole display lol) Again, probably just paranoia but I at least wanted ya'lls thoughts given the value of these sets and my hatred to future toning/issues especially on proof/mint sets.

    I wouldn't worry to much about it. I've replaced capsules on ASE's and it hasn't caused any issues to the coin in my case.

    Those coin holders are not airtight to begin with so the coins are constantly being exposed to the air. Store them properly and you'll be fine.
